Beta 61362 Sniper

[Billy Bones 0]

Using the editor I was trying out the sniper with the bipod , man at end of runway I zoom in + middle of chest .. shot kicks up dirt on ground about 3-4ft to his left another shot again + middle of chest shot kicks up dirt 3-4ft to his right.

I had the skill slider full .. no expert on ballistics but I was only some 600 yards from him and I was prone on the runway with rifle with bipod.

do you know the name of the rifle? it could make a big difference depending on which one it was...

[maddogx 13]

Which rifle were you using? Were any additional mods active that could affect weapon accuracy? Which distribution of the game do you have? (Steam, Nexway, Retail etc.)

I just tried it out like you described:

Sniper(M107) on Utes and an enemy rifleman at 550 m. I hit every time. You should too, since the scope is zeroed at that distance.

Does your scope jump up and away with the kick of the shot ? I just thought that was a bit much as I was prone and the ground and using the support of the bi-pod, the kick is really big.

[stk2008 14]

are you using ACE mod?

I have no probs with 107 in 062 but you are standing in that vid not prone???

[Billy Bones 0]

No ... Basic game 1.04 with beta patch..

I went back to 1.04 official release and used the same sniper with the m107. Standing I hit the target, prone I hit the tartget again I fired off the rounds and they hit the dirt in the same line some up some down but all in the same vertical line, non of shot hit right or left as they do with the beta, so its the beta patch.

Prone .. as my post above I went back to 1.04 official release patch and the m107 worked fine I hit the target standing and prone, so its the beta patch where the problem is coming from ..

So far in editor with the latest beta the sniper is off an all standard rifle and m107 , when commanding a M1A2 tank and tell gunner to target the T90, the greeen target box with inner circle appears round the T90 but its only the machine gun that fires.

In scenarios , when I jump into an AI APC (passenger) it never opens fire on the enemy even when fired on. I can hear the direction commands and the driver reacts to them , but when I hear the Cannon order it does not fire.

just tested, works fine here.

FADE?

[sprayer_faust 0]

Strange... I tried both: beta 61362 alone and ace. 9/10 hits.

Make a statistic. Try the same layout at least 10-times (the one you have on picture above) go prone, hold breath and shoot (with the beta of course)... Then report in hit%. Because now we really can't know whether you just shot 2 times and had bad luck or you tested it out more.

By the way: The skill slider is meant for AI only - it won't affect your grouping of shots (I think).

Just tested this myself and had no problem hitting the target every time.

Hi all

Billy Bones which publisher did you buy ArmA from?

I ask because this is one the things said to happen if the copy protection system sometimes called FADE kicks in.

Kind Regards walker

got it from local gamestation on the box is BI and 505games

Fade as far as I can remember kills the game , the game is working fine I installed Official patches 1.02 1.03 1.04 and the sniper rifle m107 works fine I get hits on target Standing and Prone. But with the latest beta the scope of some reason is out .. when I got back to the official release ver 1.04 it works with no problem.

If it was FADE , then it would do the same with 1.04 too ...

our firing an m107 while kneeling? of course its gonna be inaccurate

that's the start of the video , when I got to scope I then go prone. as I said when I got back to the official release patch 1.04 I can hit the target with the M107 Standing Kneeling and Prone .. the problem is with the beta ..

[suma 8]

the problem is with the beta ..

Can you open your Private messages, and respond to me, please?

[22ndAndy 10]

Sure u aint got a NO-CD crack from some place? That usually triggers fade

[sgt_flyer 0]

try the other weapons accuracy to see if fade has kicked in.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

As for the armor issue I have had the same problem using 1.04. It seems you have to give them a target and then also order them to fire.

[sgt_flyer 0]

ehm darkhorse ? here you are in a sniper rifle precision problem :)

the post you seek is the T90 armor problem :)
